cmsix John and Argent by cmsix Chapter 23 Before I went to see if the young girls needed any help I stripped off my clothes, especially the chain mail, and pulled on a pair of boxers I had to dig in my supplies to find. Most of my mates were teasing me all during this and I saw that Roweea was right in the thick of things. She and Dieta seemed to be egging each other on. "My lovely mates. I know that all of you must be aware of my stern position against men abusing women, I wonder if you understand that I do not consider a little spanking for discipline to be abuse?" I asked them, trying to keep a slightly sinister tone in my voice. "What is a spanking?" Maia asked the question I was sure that they wanted to know the answer to now. "You will not find out until one of you earns one," I told her, still trying to sound stern. They all had abandoned the teasing by now and I thought that I might have made it sound too ominous. I took some time to give them a few kisses and pinches and then I told them that a spanking would be for discipline but if it even bruised them slightly I would have myself beaten. They thought about that for a second and then laughed that I said I would have myself punished. I headed for Danlo's bathroom then. After reaching the entrance I did as I'd told Dieta I would. I went to the urinal and took my dick out for a piss. I could see the girls clearly in the second largest tub. It would probably hold eight. I noticed that they had the massage and bubble jets going and I had a good view of all eight titties present. They were all talking quietly among themselves and seemed not to notice that I was even there. I shook the last of the dew off dicky, put him back inside the boxers, and headed for the tub. They looked up when they sensed someone else was joining. "Well isn't this quite a little get together?" I asked. "It is so nice in here. The moving water and the bubbles are fun." Melieta said. "And the water is so warm, it feels delicious." Jaiya added. I didn't tell them that they all looked delicious too. "It does look like fun, do you mind if I join you?" I asked politely. "We don't mind, I think it will be fun." Shaala said and then they all agreed. I glanced around the tub before I got in and didn't see any soap or shampoo. I went to the vanity and found some of each before I dropped my boxers and stepped into the warm water. I noticed that dicky was the center of attention from the time the boxers dropped until he was submerged. "You girls haven't even tried washing in here yet have you?" I asked. "No we have just been soaking in the warm water. We forgot to get soap at first and it feels so good that none of us wanted to get out and look for some. Is that soap that you brought?" Shallea asked. "Soap and shampoo." "What is shampoo?" Jaiya asked. "It is for washing your hair. It makes it easier to comb and brush later." "I want to try it then, I hate the tangling that is so hard to get out." Melieta said. "Well I'll show you how to use it. Come here Jaiya and I'll start with you." She scooted over near me and I guided her to sit in my lap with her back to me. My dick started climbing with the contact of her wet buns on my upper legs and groin. I had her bend over and put her head in the water to wet her hair and as she did her sparse pubes rubbed over my rising pole. When she raised back up the pubes rubbed me in the other direction and my erection was complete. I felt Jaiya close her thighs on it a little and I liked the feeling. I opened the shampoo and poured a big dollop onto the top of her head then I began working it into a lather. As I started massaging her scalp she began squirming on my lap and around my dick, which was now sticking up between her legs with its upper side rubbing against her pussy. When I had all her hair lathered I told her to put her head back into the water to rinse the soap back out and when she did the pube rub against my now fully hard dick caught me by surprise and I nearly blew a little lather of my own. I braced myself for her return trip to the upright. It was another thrill. I applied more shampoo and as always, on the second washing I got much more lather for my trouble. Jaiya was also feeling better about things too as she settled back against my chest. She let one of her hands drop toward her bush and I think that she intended to give her clitty a wiggle with her fingers. She encountered the stiff dicky and jerked a little when she realized what he was. It didn't dampen her mood though as she took hold of the head and pulled it back to press harder against her cunt lips. In a few seconds she was rocking her hips against it for stimulation as I continued working on her hair. When I was finished with her hair my soapy hands slipped around her to caress and play with her titties and nipples. The shampoo from the first rinsing was now causing the jets to create a respectable bubble bath for us. Watching Jaiya's and my gyrations and my titty teasing was initiating a good bit of squirming of three other cute little asses, which I couldn't see now, and a lot of jiggling of the six other titties that I could see. When Jaiya's motions became more urgent and her moaning became plaintive; dropping a hand to her bush and putting a finger's pad against her clitoris let me give it a rubbing. That was it for her and she bucked against my finger and the captured dicky four or five times, moaned my name loudly and then slumped back against me limply. Cuddling her from behind for a while and then kissing and nibbling on the back of her neck helped her come back from her pleasure. Finally the others helped me lay her back in the water to give her hair the best rinsing we could in the now foamy bath. Shallea was next in line and then Shaala. Each time one of them bent over to wet or rinse their hair I had to bite my tongue to keep from groaning and hold my breath hoping that I wouldn't cum as their pubes tickled and teased my boner. Neither of them wasted any time grabbing the head of the matter and using it like a saddle horn, and believe me they held on tight. I was able to get ignition and liftoff from both of them without blowing my load though. My most serious challenge came when Melieta moved onto my lap. I don't know if it was because dicky was standing up straighter or if Melieta's longer legs changed the angle slightly. I do know that as she eased her ass down onto my lap dicky's eye seemed as if it were able to see after all. He poked his fat head squarely against Melieta's rosebud and managed to wiggle that head about halfway into it. Melieta gasped and then shivered. She tensed slightly and then put more weight against me and for a second I thought I was going to be doling out my first prehistoric ass fucking. "Oh John, I never thought it could go in there. Won't it hurt?" She asked with her voice quivering. "It probably will, but if you don't raise up a little in a second or two you are going to find out for sure." I warned her. She actually squirmed her ass around a little and dicky seemed to be about to take care of business for real. She eased up though and when she did I adjusted my aim to send my dick between her legs instead of up her ass. As she settled down onto my lap and took hold of the knob she shivered again. "I think that I might have been able to do it John. Maybe we can try it some other time. Is that one of the ways to do it?" She asked. "It is one of the ways I do it sometimes but I'm not sure about other men. You must be sure that the man can go slowly because it can hurt you badly if they try to just jam it in there. You should try to use some melted fat or something to make it go easier too. This soapy water would work but something more slippery would be better." I explained. Melieta was rocking her hips a little already and her hair wasn't even damp. I had her lean down to wet it thoroughly and when she rose I told Jaiya, Shallea and Shaala to shampoo it since I had plans for my hands and Melieta's titties. While the other three washed I fondled and teased titties and nipples. Melieta amazed me because when she hit her rhythm she seemed able to hold herself in the middle of a continuous cum for nearly five minutes. It got too good for her at the last though and she just screamed and locked up all over. She had nearly fainted at the end. A little later, after she was back with us, all four girls and I played grab ass for about fifteen minutes and then I told them that I'd better go. I stepped into a shower to rinse off before I dried myself, donned my boxers and said my goodbyes. When I got back to my bed I could only provide the minimum of foreplay for Dalia, who was my first target, before I had to put my dick up her. Luckily she seemed to be hot already and as eager for the fucking to start as I was. I gave her another regulation pounding and she hammered her ass back at me every step of the way. I wasn't even near cumming now for some reason and when Dalia was done Shelalliea was spread and ready in a flash. Shelalliea didn't need or want any foreplay. Watching the fucking I'd given Dalia had been plenty of stimulation to get her more than ready and she wasn't shy about telling me so. "I want it just like that John. Fuck me just like you did Dalia. Very hard and very fast, please!" She told me, nearly growling. I liked giving my mates what they wanted so I put it all the way up her and started pumping. Her ass did some pumping of its own and she grabbed a hard and fast orgasm before I was really stroking good. As Waaya scrambled to get under me I had time to notice that none of the women seemed to be playing with each other and when I pushed myself, a little more gently, into Waaya I saw that they were watching me fuck her as if they were spellbound. I tried to take it a little easier on Waaya but after a few pumps she let me know that she wasn't going to stand for that. "Hard John, and fast. Like you did Dalia and Shelalliea. I think that I can take it and I want to try. Do it to me like that." She begged. Hell I was all for it. Three strokes later I was slamming the meat to Waaya and she had me wrapped tightly with her arms and legs, was humping against me with her every muscle and babbling out my name as she urged me to do it harder. Fuck, I couldn't do it any harder. Waaya made me work too since she kept moaning, crying and fucking for nearly ten minutes. Ten minutes is a long time to fuck as hard as you can. She finally popped her cork though and when she did she fainted dead away. Geera and Dieta cuddled and kissed on the exhausted Waaya as Winna pulled me toward her widespread legs. I hoped that she wanted at least a little more leisurely fuck since I was panting by now. She welcomed me into her body and as she wrapped her legs around my ass and her arms around my neck she kissed me so sweetly that it was like a balm. I settled into a slow gallop in her pussy and it nipped and nibbled on my dick until I gave up and pumped her full of cum. She got off herself when she felt it pumping and she hugged me to her tighter as I emptied my nuts into her. She kissed all over my face and neck and ears as I lay limply on her, panting. As I regained my breath Maia rolled me off Winna and onto my back. She and her sister Merita both went to work on his limpness with their lips and tongues. Maia's constant big eyed look toward my face, as her tongue was licking all over dicky, had him swelling again in only minutes and when she decided that he was back in useable shape she straddled my hips and lowered herself around him. I suspect that she wanted to do the riding to make sure she didn't get a pounding like those she had just witnessed. Pounded out for now and also aware that Maia was just too young and too small to stand up to that kind of fucking, I was glad that she had done the mounting. Still being a little winded, this way I could let Maia take whatever she wanted without needing any serious exertions from me. I played with one titty while her sister nursed at the other and I used my thumb to make sure that Maia's clitty wasn't neglected. She finished herself off fairly quickly and her tight young pussy gave dicky a thorough squeezing as she let go. While Dieta, her mother, helped Maia lie down; her sister Merita took her place and started a little more energetic bouncing on my swollen member. Merita discovered the fun of rising almost completely off and then plunging fully back down around me. It was an inspirational feat of discovery and a fine way to fuck. By the time Merita had plunged herself to a good one her mother's tongue had finished tidying up her sister's pussy and Dieta promptly helped her oldest daughter to her back for a similar licking cleanup. Gema was only too happy to claim Merita's place and keep my dick warm and had thought of a new little trick of her own. She settled her smoothly muscular ass cheeks down onto my legs and as she let my dick slip all the way up into her she just sat still and began milking it with her insides. This is a technique I can enthusiastically recommend. No one was sucking on Gema's firm fat round titties so I took hold of them to squeeze their fullness and tease their plump nipples with my thumbs. This suited Gema just fine but after a while her pussy must have signaled for some sliding action. She began pumping on me slowly at first but it soon disintegrated in to a pretty energetic fuck and though Gema has started out I'm sure with the intentions of a lengthy session she blasted off before I could. Delia had been waiting patiently for her ride but when Gema vacated my dick she took possession. She began pumping up and down on me from the start and she showed me that her pussy could squeeze me while she was bouncing on my boner. I took hold of her titties as she mounted and though I teased them relentlessly and even began pushing my dick up her hard as she came down, Delia still managed to hang on until we went off together. It was so good at the last that I released her tits and got both my hands full of her round ass and pulled her down for the count. After she spent Delia lie down on me, pressing her titties into my chest and claiming my lips with hers, giving me a kiss that showed me that she appreciated my efforts on her behalf. I kept my hands on her rounded ass cheeks and kneaded them gently. "Next time I want you to fuck me hard like you did my mother. I want you to fuck my mother and then fuck me next, then she can clean my pussy for me when you are done with it." Delia told me whispering it in my ear. I told her that I would do my best and as she rolled off me, even though I was panting hard again and barely aware of the body shuffling going on around me, the thoughts generated by her whispered words had my dick almost ready to climb again. I did see Geera latch her lips onto Delia's pussy, cutting off Dieta's string of cleanups. When I looked down to see who was licking and nibbling on dicky I saw red hair and knew that Jaada was trying to raise the dead so she could get it between her legs. I looked around a little for inspiration and saw that Waaya was licking Dalia's pussy and I saw Shelalliea's firm ass wiggling in the air as she was busily sucking Winna's snatch. Seeing Shelalliea's ass waving reminded me of my sweet teasing torture at the hands of her daughters and their bath-mates not very long ago. That and Jaada's move to suction in her efforts put dicky back into working order and I took hold of Jaada under her armpits and pulled her up to lay on me. When I had her in place I rolled us over until she was on her back. She kissed me hotly as I did and as her back settled into the mattress her legs spread to make room for me to take her. I pushed my dick toward her twat and she guided him to the spot with her small freckled hand. Her hot juices felt like honey as I pushed myself inside her and she clamped me to her with her legs and was pushing it up to me almost before I could start fucking. Jaada was hot. The watching and waiting had her motor going. Two good explosions had me firmly in control of my reactions and though I didn't give little Jaada a real pounding I did give her a good firm fucking and I left her panting and cooing and as I moved over to grab my newest, Roweea, I saw that Maia was back in action since she descended on Jaada's red bush to make sure it got cleaned properly. I nailed Roweea to the mattress in short order and started warming up for what I knew would be Geera's and then Dieta's royal pounding. I cut Roweea a little slack but she didn't seem like she wanted much. "You are going to do it aren't you? You are going to give it to us all with your dick tonight." She moaned as I got into it. "Yes everyone of my mates is going to get a fucking tonight. None of you will have to settle for a licking only." "I can't believe it." Roweea said and I think she wanted to say more but she was too busy blasting off. I lay down to press her into the mattress for a few seconds as she shook until she was done and then I grabbed Geera's arm and pulled her to me. She was way too hot for her sham resistance tonight and when she got to me she latched onto my mouth with hers and practically dragged me down onto and then into her. Her ass was bucking up another quake in seconds as she wrapped her legs around me and just had at it. She didn't last long either though and it began to dawn on my dumb ass that the more one of my mates watched me fucking the others, the hotter she got. Geera went off just then and I realized that poor Dieta, probably the most easily aroused of all my women had somehow gotten to be last in line. When I reached for Dieta she was on me at once. I didn't let her take the topside though and I rolled her under me. She spread her legs at once and begged me to mount her. "Dieta, my poor Dieta. You have been waiting until last and I know that you must be burning up." I said. "I am, yes I am. Please give it to me. I am so hot." She wailed. I slid it in her and she was hot inside too. My dick forced what seemed a quart of her slippery secretions from her steaming swollen pussy. Her nipples were so plump they looked like they must hurt. Even though Dieta was more than just aroused and was making fuck oil copiously her pussy was still a snug sheath for my dick. I pumped it to Dieta slowly but firmly, trying to keep her from just exploding at once. Once she had me wrapped in her arms and legs and had my dick up in her a little of her tension eased off. "Ohhhh! I thought my turn would never come. I am so horny and I want you so badly." She moaned to me. "You have me now so try to relax and enjoy the fucking." She did. I was trying to enjoy it too and it wasn't too hard to do. Dieta hunched up to me with every stroke and she kept whispering love in my ear and kissing and nipping my neck as I let her have it. When she got her cookies I wasn't there yet but I just kept at her until I got there and then I staked that sexy shapely body to the mattress with my dick and just held her down pumping cum up her. When I was finally done and could roll off her I decided that I needed a little breather. Argent must have thought I needed a little rest too because he didn't come into my dreams until nearly sunrise, I'm guessing that was about when he showed up. Anyway he came to me after a long sleep. "John we are amazed again at your sheer genius." Argent told me right off the bat. "I assume that I still can't be told about it." I replied. "We have discussed it and decided that we can tell you what we are excited about this time, please do not let it affect your actions though." He said. "I will do my best to carry on as I have been." "The shindig was excellent. We will watch closely for any other activities of that type and will provide beer as necessary. That is not our latest thrill from you though. We are very excited that you offered to provide for a mate for the shaman and we are more than pleased that you have convinced him that our actions are those of the spirits. We did encourage him subtly to go to the camp where the woman he is attracted to resides, since we anticipate some activities there tomorrow. You will be going with him won't you?" Argent asked. "Yes I need to teach him to handle the team and try to explain what he should do if he runs into any difficulties." "That is good. I do not think that you will be needed by him at the camp but it will be best if you are there to help him make up his mind on the actions he must take." Argent said. "I planned on going anyway and of course I will help Georgo in any way that I can." "Excellent. I wanted to ask you about your bonus freight also. You have not requested anything and I wondered if you thought you might not be needing it." He said. "Truthfully I haven't had time to make out a list. I have in mind a few of the things that I will want but I haven't had time to assemble the entire list." I told him. "I apologize for not telling you John but you do not have to call for it all at one time. You may requisition it as you see fit. I know that situations can change rapidly for you and as you get some things it may remind you of something else that you want. Feel free to inform us by message of anything you want or need and we will make sure to keep a listing of the weight of what you have already received so that you will know exactly where you stand." "That will be the best way for me and I thank you for pointing it out." I told him and was back to sleep as he faded. My mates were all up and dressed when I woke. When they noticed that I had stirred they all came to the bed to kiss me good morning and practically lifted me out of it. "What's the occasion my lovelies?" I asked. "We are all so happy today John but we are dreading your traveling." Delia told me. "We will miss you so while you are gone." Shelalliea said, kissing me again and this started another round of kissing. What the hell, I thought, and began dispensing gropes with the kisses. Shortly I realized that I was getting more than twelve women's worth of kisses and feeling more titties and asses than my mates had. Melieta, Jaiya, Shallea and Shaala had joined us. It didn't bother me a bit. As I was making sure that they all got the feeling this morning I thought how much nicer mornings would be if there were ancient T-shirts. Hell T-shirts didn't weigh hardly anything. I would just have my girls all fitted for some. They took me to get my breakfast then and handed me a big cup of coffee. They practically fed me and continued to stroke and caress me through the meal. I must have been a bigger hit last night than I'd thought. They eased off a little when Georgo came in to eat though. He and I talked about our trip a little and soon enough we were headed to the horse cave to get Sally and Jane. I caught and harnessed them and was leaving to get Georgo's buckboard when Bigglieo came up. "Thank the spirits the pounding is gone and I will be worth my upkeep today." He told me. "You even did a good job yesterday during your recovery Bigglieo. I will need for you to finish the fence today though and make sure that the small pickets are put on very closely to keep predators out." "I will make sure that it is done properly and if you are not back before night I will have the three young bachelors guard the fence until you can get back and put the stinging wire on it." He assured me. "That is a good idea. We will probably not be back until tomorrow or maybe the day after." I said and then Georgo and I went to get the buckboard. My mates were there with sleeping furs for me and plenty of food for Georgo and I. Georgo fetched his furs too then. Delia came out with the M1, which I was about to forget, and five containers of ammunition for it. I hadn't realized that she knew exactly which cartridges it used but she had brought the right type. Georgo and I went back into my cave then to get our coffee mugs filled before we left. When his was full he started back to the buckboard and my mates and our four unmated guest all demanded another good kissing and I added goodbye gropes for all of them. I spent the first hour telling Georgo everything I could about handling the team. When I turned the reins over to him he did fine. Since I was familiar with this route I asked him to push Sally and Jane to a trot. He hesitated for a few seconds and then did it. I watched him closely for a couple of minutes and then he turned to me. "This wagon is wonderful. Even though the horses are trotting I am not bounced around like I would be if I were on their backs." Georgo said and smiled. "That is one of the best things about a wagon. You can let the horses trot, which is the gait they can travel farthest and fastest with and you can still ride in comfort. It is also much easier on the horses since they do not have to carry the extra weight and only have to pull it. You can cover a lot of ground rapidly while trotting the team." I explained. Later, as we advanced to the area that I hadn't been over before, the ground seemed just as good and I let Georgo maintain our pace. I quizzed him about what the way was like and he said that he couldn't remember any rough spot that might cause the horses trouble. Georgo was correct and he was also amazed at the speed of our trip. He had been expecting to arrive late at night if we kept on and didn't stop to sleep. As it was we pulled in about an hour and a half before sunset and it was at the perfect time. The camp seemed to just appear as we rounded a fairly sharp bend. We were nearly in its midst before I knew that we were even close. There was some type of commotion and just as I realized that there was a man chasing a woman through the camp Georgo spoke. "It is him and he is chasing the woman, his mate, that I spoke of. No doubt he intends to beat her." Georgo said in disgust. "Stop the wagon. You are not telling me of it now, I can see it and I will not let it happen." I said and reached for the M1 before Georgo could stop the team, he did bring them to a halt though. The woman had tripped and the man was on her. Just as I shouldered the M1 to end his days, from a clear cloudless sky, came the biggest, fattest and brightest bolt of lightning that I had ever seen. It was as if it were thousands of bolts coming together from nothing in the sky to merge into one just above the man's head and then they surged through him. We were no more than a hundred yards from him and the thunder was immediate and vicious. It dulled my senses and even rocked the buckboard. The man was burnt to a standing smoking mess before he could even fall. Both of his feet had exploded as the electricity left his body through them and I saw, as he was falling that both his eyes had been popped from his smoldering skull. Everyone in the camp had been outside watching the spectacle but none of them could have heard the puny sound his body must have made as it fell to the ground, since the thunder was still rumbling angrily. They were all stunned and motionless. Georgo turned to me with his mouth gaping open. "The spirits have made their decision Georgo. Go and comfort your new mate." I told him as I put the M1 back in the seat back rack and climbed down off the buckboard. I headed toward the people of the camp as Georgo got down and went toward Ladeliea, who lay unmoving on the ground. The leader, at least, was able to gather his thoughts as I approached and he stepped toward me. "I am John. The spirits told Georgo that he should come to this camp today to find himself a mate and we have just seen what they thought of her worthless former mate." I told him as I showed him my palms in a gesture of friendship. I caught movement to my right and about thirty feet away and as I turned a scroungy looking young man was coming toward me. He stopped about halfway to me. "I should kill you now for talking of Darbo that way. He was my friend." He said. "You have already wasted your last seconds flapping your mouth." I said, drawing the Glock and letting it send him after his lamented companion. The rest were stunned again, at the Glock's voice and at the man flopping out his last movements after he'd fallen lifeless to the ground. "I am telling you all that if you intend to kill me you had better do it first and brag about it later. If you warn me that you want to you will die before you can buck up your courage. I will not stand and wait for a man to gather his nerve if I know he wants to kill me. I am a peaceful man but I mean to keep on living, if these two have any more friends here they should keep their mouths shut about it or come and let me send them all off together." Another scroungy looking specimen fainted dead away and fell to the ground while two younger ones turned and ran as if the devil was right on their asses. He very nearly was. I turned back to the speechless leader then. "I have come with Georgo to ask if you would all like to join with our camp. It is the camp that Gigo was leading. The camp that Darrio, the deceased mate of Roweea, was leading has joined us already. We have food and meat in abundance and we have many good large caves that are cool in the summer and will be warm in the winter. I will warn you though that I am the leader and I do not tolerate men who think that they must beat on their mates. I will not have it." The leader didn't even have time to speak before another minor commotion broke out. A pretty young brunet walked over to the man who had fainted and kicked him squarely in the stomach just as he was reviving. He retched from the blow and when he was through she let him have it again, then she walked over to stand behind me. "I am going back with you no matter what the others do. I will not stay here to be Harto's mate. I will come to your camp and dig through your scraps or beg for my food. The only reason he has not beaten me already is because he couldn't persuade me to be his mate. He thought that Darbo was such a man because he beat Ladeliea often. Look at him now. He fainted like a woman when a real man came to this camp and he is retching yet from the kick of an unmated girl." She told them all. She had them all wagging their tongues then and I decided that there had been nearly enough talking. I glanced back to Georgo and could see that Ladeliea was now up and talking to him as he led her toward the wagon. "I have made my offer. Do as you wish. You are all welcome in my camp but you must do as I say if you live there." I told them and then turned to face the young woman. "Where are your things? I think that we shall return tonight. You will not have to beg for food at my camp, all who are there have plenty to eat." I said. "Thank you, my things are in the hut of the unmated women. I do not have much to carry and I will do my best to keep up, even in the night." She said trying to look brave. "You will not have to carry anything; you will not even have to walk. Georgo's buckboard will carry your things and Ladeliea's things and all of us too. It will not be a hard trip." I said as Georgo drove it up. "Will we go back tonight John? It will be dark soon and I really should talk to Barago and Britta." Georgo said. "We have had some unpleasantness Georgo and I am not sure that I am welcome in this camp. If you need to stay and can find a place in the camp I can sleep in the buckboard?" I explained. "If the unpleasantness is what I think it was, the camp will be much better for it. If you are not welcome here, Barago will let me know soon enough and we will leave. If you are not welcome I will not stay here a minute after I am told." Georgo said. "Very well, I will wait for you by the hut of the unmated women. This one is going back with us and I will see how much room we will need to pack her things. "I have never been mated and I do not have many things. If what I do have is a burden I will leave it. My things are of no great consequence." She said. "Ladeliea has told me that she does not have many things either. I thought that it would be so as Darbo was not very good at anything except swaggering." Georgo told me. He went to speak to Barago and I turned to the girl. "I am John, what is your name?" "I am Jalieta, the hut is this way." She said and turned to walk toward it. "Wait, we will take the buckboard." She came back to me and I led her to it and helped her into the seat beside Ladeliea. When she was seated she and Ladeliea hugged each other. "Are you going with us Jalieta?" Ladeliea asked her. "Yes, I would rather beg for food or starve than stay here to be bothered by Harto about mating for the rest of my life. He is the reason that no other man would ask to mate me. If I never have a mate it will be better than having Harto." She said. "You are right, I wished many times that I had never agreed to mate Darbo. It may be wrong to be glad that someone is dead but I am glad that Darbo is dead." Ladeliea said. "Jarendo is dead also." Jalieta told her. "I thought that I heard more thunder, did lightning strike him too." She asked. "No, John killed him. I saw it all but still don't know how he did it. At first Jarendo said that he would kill John for berating Darbo and then there was thunder with no lightning and Jarendo was on the ground with blood gushing from his chest and his legs kicking." She said. "Did you kill him John?" Ladeliea asked me. "Yes. When men say they will kill me I kill them first, if I can." "But why are you coming Jalieta? I think that you should but what made you do it?" Ladeliea asked her. "John told them all that he would kill any man who said that they wanted to kill him. Then he said if Darbo or Jarendo had friends that wanted to kill him they should step forward so that he could send them to join Darbo and Jarendo, when he said that Harto fainted like a woman. "Then John asked the whole camp if they wanted to come and join his camp and he told them that no man would beat a woman there. I knew at once that I would be going with him no matter what the others did." Jalieta said. "It will be better there. Georgo told me that they all had caves to live in and that there was much food." Ladeliea told her. "It will be better there if we go and have to starve. After today I doubt that Harto will come to the camp even after the invitation, and you should have seen how fast Sahto and Talvo ran trying to get out of John's sight." Jalieta said nearly laughing. We drove to the unmated women's hut then. Jalieta let me know there were three others who lived there with her. The hut was more than large enough for four though and could probably accommodate eight or even ten if it had to. She took Ladeliea and I inside and she showed me her things. She had her sleeping furs of course and some food that she had gathered. Some had been dried and some more had been preserved in other ways that I couldn't visualize. She also had a lot of baskets that she had woven, mostly from grasses and such. She had a little dried meat but not much. "You see I do not have many things." She told me. Her hut mates came in then. Two of them seemed about her age and the other looked about a year younger. She introduced me to Cailayia, Katita and Balalia. Here I was in a hut with four pretty young unmated women and Georgo's pretty new mate. Dicky wanted to fuck something and I'll admit I was having some thoughts along those same lines. Jalieta's hutties were all excited that she was leaving and then they turned to me almost all in the same instant and asked if they could come too. "I said that anyone in this camp was welcome to come to mine if they would live by my rules and you are among them. I do not know the custom's for unmated women leaving a camp without a mate but we will make it right somehow if you want to join us." I nearly said that I would pay their price for them but caught myself before I had acquired four more mates. Dicky berated me for my quick thinking since he had gotten mostly ready for action when the three others had arrived. He was also admiring Ladeliea with longing. "My former mother and her mate have already told me that they want to come too and Katita's also told her. Cailayia's former mother and her mate are leaning heavily toward moving too. There can be no talk if we leave with them. Jalieta's former mother died shortly after her mate was killed hunting. They may grumble if she leaves with you but they do not own any of us." Balalia said. "If we do not go with you now we may be trampled later when the others rush to your camp. Barago was a fairly good leader but he did not have the confidence to keep Darbo in line and it has been draining his authority for a long while. Jarendo had been ignoring what Barago told him for months and even spineless Harto had started to do it lately. Sahto and Talvo were begining to cause trouble too." "I will take you all to my camp tomorrow or maybe even tonight then. If someone grumbles and if Georgo thinks they have a just reason to I will see that things are made right. You may all find a mate that you want at my camp and if you do they can pay your mating price." I said. This got their attention at once. "Are there many unmated men at your camp?" Cailayia asked with her face shining in excitement. "No. There are barely any, and none from my original camp. There are many good men that need another mate though." I said. "Are there so many good hunters that can feed two mates in your camp?" Balalia asked seemingly even more excited. "Any man in my camp that will work can feed two or more mates." I told them. "But how, how can all your hunters be that good and we have not heard of it?" Jalieta asked. "I have many things that must be done that do not require hunting and I must have men to do them. I also will help any man in my camp earn the price for his mate." I said. "You are John! How could I have not guessed it? You are John that paid twenty-five bison each for three mates. You killed the bison so fast that their camp had to ask you to stop so they could process the meat before it spoiled." Katita said almost in awe. The tale had grown just a little in the telling but I decided not to waste time setting them straight right now. "You are John and have come for us in the wagon, the one that carries many dead bison at one time. I should have known when you took me on it. I was confused when you called it buckboard." Jalieta said then. "That is not my wagon. That is Georgo's new buckboard. The spirits have just given it to him and they asked him to come here today. The wagon is much bigger and I will send it if many people want to come to my camp. I will send it to carry their things back." I explained. I noticed that my status had changed at once. Even Ladeliea was eyeing me differently now. Georgo saved me from more scrutiny as he returned. "What is the word Georgo?" "Barago was upset as you guessed John but he was not upset with you. He was mortified that you had to kill a man in his camp before he could even introduce himself to you. He was stunned. He said that you were welcome in this camp as long as it was here but that if you would have him he wants to join your camp no matter what the others want. The troublesome ones here have made him sick of his leadership. Britta is so happy that she has already begun packing their things." Georgo told me. "I guess there will be no grumbling if these unmated women come with us then?" I asked. "I have already spoken to every mated person in this camp and they are all packing. If you hear any grumbling it will be from unmated men and I think that you should kill any of them that say a cross word as soon as you hear it. I have let it be known that those are my feelings too. All the young boys and girls are being packed up by their parents too of course. I told them that Bigglieo would come with the big wagon to carry their things but some of them are anxious to walk to the camp tomorrow." Georgo told me. "I don't think that they can walk the distance in a day and carry things with them too. We will try to make them wait on Bigglieo and the horses to come and get them. I may be able to get another team started and we can use your buckboard and the wagon along with the travois horses to carry everything." I told him. "That sounds much wiser to me. I think that we should sleep now so we will be rested to go early in the morning." He said and when he did Ladeliea went to him and they left. "I will sleep in the wagon tonight then." I told the girls and intended to do just that. "No, please stay with us." Katita said. "Sahto, Talvo or even Harto may try to sneak in here tonight. They have tried it before. If they know we will be leaving tomorrow they will try all the harder tonight." Cailayia told me, pressing herself against me. Her titties made themselves felt as she did it. They caused me to give her request serious consideration. What did it matter anyway? I was going to be the leader of their camp and most of my mates had told me that even if I screwed a woman that had never been mated that nothing would be said about it. Cailayia was making it seem like a pretty good idea. I decided to stay with them, for their protection and maybe for my own pleasure. Promising myself that I would try my hardest not to fuck any of them I gave them the happy news. "You have convinced me then. I will just go out and unhitch the team and hobble them." I said. I walked out of the hut and started toward the buckboard. After about ten steps I heard something behind me and then got a blow in the back just over my left kidney. I turned around to see Harto, who must have been working on his courage since the retching, standing there with his mouth hanging open and staring at the spear that had just bounced off my back. I let the Glock speak to the ambushing little bastard and knew that we would only have to keep an eye out for the two runners now. A crowd gathered quickly then and the first to arrive, of course, were the unmated foursome. They stared at Harto and then looked to me for an explanation. "He cast a spear at my back when I was walking toward the buckboard." I told them. "Are you hurt? Did he miss?" Jalieta asked. "I am not hurt and he did not miss." I said as I picked up the spear with the now broken bone point and showed it to them. "It bounced off me." I told them and then walked back to the horses. When I had the team unharnessed and hobbled for the night I returned to the unmated women's hut. There was still a crowd hanging around and two men were about to drag Harto's remains off somewhere. "Just stretch him out in front of the hut's entrance. That way anyone else that wants to bother me tonight will know what waits for them inside." I told them. They did it and my little speech had put to death any questions that may have been coming. As the others all left I let the girls enter and I followed them.
